- Commission
- Realize a robust and user-friendly online platform for fundraising and communication, linked to existing systems.
solution
Together with SOS Kinderdorpen, us. developed a versatile and solid online platform that is cleverly linked to existing systems such as Microsoft Dynamics, Salesforce and payment providers. Clever? A visitor can always complete his or her ‘customer journey’; even when an external system is temporarily unavailable. SOS Kinderdorpen now can easily build landing pages and donation forms themselves. Of course, performance of the platform is constantly monitored and optimized if necessary.
technologies
aws
The platform runs entirely in the cloud via Amazon Web Services (AWS). By cleverly caching and providing images optimally, the website has become exceptionally fast — without compromising on quality. Of course, everything scales so the website’s performance is optimal even during busy campaigns.
imgix
By using imgix’s real-time image processing, users always receive the most optimal image in terms of compression and size. This benefits speed and user experience. In addition, with the help of smart facial recognition algorithms, imgix automatically provides correct cropping of pictures.
wordpress
The CMS is based on WordPress, heavily customized to run fast, safe and scalable in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. Images are served off of imgix’s content delivery network (CDN). Other assets also come directly from Amazon Web Services’ CDN.
result
The resulting platform is stable, straightforward and user-friendly. The platform is never ‘finished’ and it provides a solid foundation for further development. Together with SOS Kinderdorpen, us. continuously aims for optimization by translating objectives and wishes into practical solutions. Great work that we are proud of.
